FEATURED COMPOSITIONS
*All MIDI Examples were created using the Noteperformer Sound Configuration which is a third-party extension exclusively for
Sibelius and Finale notation softwares with the intention of providing a simple way to achieve realistic sounding instruments and
better orchestral balance. For a better example of the musicality and interpretation of the composition, I encourage you to listen to the live recordings if they are available.
Some Scores may not yet be available as they have not been published on Score Exchange.
